Multiomics Profiling Supports Cathepsin B as a Protective Factor in White Matter Hyperintensities and Cognition
BACKGROUND: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a common brain magnetic resonance imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease and a major risk factor for stroke and dementia, yet the molecular mechanisms governing lesion formatio...

Health Literacy and Communication in Stroke Prevention, Management, and Recovery: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Health literacy is a critical component of high-quality stroke care. Across the continuum from prevention through recovery, health literacy is strongly associated with functional outcomes and stroke-related morbidity. Despite its importa...

Clinical Outcome Differences in Asia Versus Non-Asia Intracerebral Hemorrhage: IPD Analysis From BP-Lowering Clinical Trials
BACKGROUND: Evidence of regional differences in clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still scarce. We quantified differential outcomes and response to early intensive blood pressure lowering treatment by region in th...

Thrombolysis in the Delayed Treatment Window for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND: Intravenous thrombolysis is a standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke but has traditionally been limited to 4.5 hours after symptom onset. This time-based restriction may exclude patients with salvageable brain tissue, e...

Parent Perspectives on I-ACQUIRE Therapy
BACKGROUND: Although Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy is increasingly recommended as an evidence-based, intensive treatment for children with hemiparesis, parent perspectives are lacking. I-ACQUIRE, a multicomponent form of Constraint...

Adjuvant Systemic Hypothermia During Mechanical Thrombectomy (ReCCLAIM II): A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia reduces ischemic injury in preclinical stroke models, yet translation into the clinical setting remains challenging. We aimed to assess the feasibility of inducing adjuvant systemic hypothermia among patients with...

Neural Repair Therapies After Stroke: II. Principles for Clinical Trials
Stroke remains a leading cause of human disability worldwide. Additional approaches beyond acute stroke therapies are needed to improve patient outcomes. Neural repair therapies focus on promoting neural plasticity in surviving tissue ra...

Neural Repair Therapies After Stroke: I. Therapeutic Advances
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neural repair therapies, distinct from acute stroke therapies, target surviving neural elements to promote plasticity after the acute injury has occurred. Repair therapies encompass a br...

Subjective Social Status and Outcomes After Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Subjective social status (SSS) represents self-perceived social position and may affect poststroke recovery. Despite impacting various medical outcomes, SSS remains understudied in stroke. We hypothesized that higher SSS is a...

Carbenoxolone Modulates Dopamine D2 Receptor–Associated Inflammatory Responses After Ischemic Stress
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in reperfusion therapy, ischemic brain injury remains a major cause of disability. Astrocytes play a central role in postischemic inflammation and tissue remodeling, but the molecular drivers of their reactiv...
